The following are examples on how to utilize Trips within the framework of the Triple Option Offense:
Trips Vert Right.
The Quarterback will throw the ball to the Middle Receiver here.
The Offensive Line slides away from the call, both receivers run fades, the Playside A runs a vertical because the Middle of the Field is closed, and the B-Back blocks the 1st threat off the Playside Tackle.
The Quarterback 5-step drops and throws the ball to the Middle Receiver.
Trips Right, Vert Right. This takes advantage of one-high safety defenses and forces the safety to declare himself.
Trips Right, Vert Right Backside. This is designed to isolate a weak cornerback on a wide receiver. The ultimate one-on-one matchup is right here.
When properly utilized, Trips is a tremendous formational variation within the Triple Option Offense.
